Firriato's Jasmin is an aromatic dry white wine that celebrates the rich viticultural heritage of Sicily through the Zibibbo grape, also known as Muscat of Alexandria. Cultivated in the Borgo Guarini estate in the Trapani countryside, the vines thrive in clay-loam soils under the intense Sicilian sun, tempered by cooling maritime breezes. The name 'Jasmin' is a poetic tribute to the intoxicating scent of jasmine blossoms that drift through Sicilian nights. While Zibibbo is historically famous for sweet passito wines, Firriato vinifies Jasmin as a dry, vibrant white, capturing the grape's exuberant floral and citrus character. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aged briefly on the lees, this wine preserves its delicate primary aromas of orange blossom, citrus, and tropical fruit.
